Special Court again defers verdict on suspended NRB governor’s case
The Special Court on Wednesday deferred its verdict on the case of suspended Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) governor Bijay Nath Bhattarai.
The verdict on this high-profile corruption case had been scheduled for today, but was deferred as justice Cholendra SJB Rana, a member of the bench, was on leave.
The Special Court has already deferred the verdict on Bhattari’s case twice in the past.
Bhattarai and another senior NRB official, Surendra Man Pradhan, have been accused of embezzling Rs 195.319 million that Nepal had received in foreign aid for financial sector reform project.
The Commission for Investigation for Abuse of Authority (CIAA) had filed cases against Bhattarai and co-accused Pradhan in January 2007. nepalnews.com mk Jan 02 08
